The Asian Striped Catfish, Mystus vittatus , is a silver fish with four to five pale horizontal stripes on each side of the body. It also has a large black spot just behind the gill. This fish is a good addition to most community aquariums containing large fish. They are also tolerant of their own kind, and so can be kept together as long as the tank is large. Asian Striped Catfish should not be kept with small fish like Neon Tetras, small guppies or most rasboras as these may be eaten. Provide hiding places like branches or rocks as this fish will hide during the day. They become more active at night. Feed late in the day and make sure the catfish has food after all the others have eaten. It is a scavenger, and will accept most meaty foods.
